SUMMARY:1-Day Translation Workshop: Translating Humor in Contemporary Arabic Literature
DESCRIPTION:Humor is one of the most difficult concepts for any writer or translator to engage with\, and yet undoubtedly the most rewarding when it’s done right. This course encourages you to translate humor from a range of genres in contemporary Arabic literature: memoir\, graphic novel\, short stories\, and young adult literature from across the Arabic speaking world such as Libya\, Lebanon\, Mauritania and Palestine. The framework of the course is based on Arthur Asa Berger’s classification of humor\, which groups over forty techniques into categories such as Identity\, Language\, and Logic. This framework will be explained in the class\, and a brief reading on it will also be provided prior to the workshop. \nIf you’re a translator working from any language into English\, you will be able to apply the techniques learnt to your own craft. If you are a writer seeking some inspiration from other literatures\, this class is also a great fit for you. \nBridge translations (literal translations from a foreign language into English that keep the original word order\, punctuation\, and multiple meanings of the original language) as well as the Arabic originals for each exercise will be provided\, so it’s up to you if you’d like to practice your Arabic reading skills when decoding a joke\, or work entirely relying on the provided English. The choice is yours! \nOutside of a short reading\, there is no homework for this course; students should come to class prepared to do group-work and in-class writing and translating activities. \n*If you’re enrolling in two or more Don’t Translate Alone classes\, email us at classes@catapult.co and we’ll send you a coupon for 15% off each DTA class!\n \nClass meetings will be held over video chat\, using Zoom accessed from your private class page. While you can use Zoom from your browser\, we recommend downloading the desktop client so you have access to all platform features. \nCost: $75 \nCOURSE TAKEAWAYS: \n– Confidence in identifying different types of humor in contemporary Arabic texts \n– Apply techniques learned in class to translated works in any genre \n– Ability to pinpoint what makes a humorous text funny \n– Experience of translating Arabic humorous texts into English \n– 10% discount on all future Catapult classes \nCOURSE EXPECTATIONS: \nBefore class: Students should read the Berger framework (a few pages that will be provided) to understand how we will identify and categorize humor \nDuring class: Lots of groupwork and pairwork. Come prepared to talk (and laugh!) \nSawad Hussain\n\n\n\n\nSawad Hussain is an Arabic translator and litterateur who is passionate about bringing narratives from the African continent to wider audiences.

SUMMARY:Translation as Activism: The Political Responsibility of the Translator in the 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:To mark this year’s ITD the Goethe-Institut London is looking at the political responsibilities of the translator in our turbulent times. How can translators take an activist role\, and is it their responsibility to do so? \nTaking part in the discussion are three protagonists whose work reflects on the role of translation in debates surrounding post-colonial literatures\, gender and race\, and their associated power structures. The discussion will be moderated by Charlotte Ryland of the Stephen Spender Trust\, and will feature contributions from Anna von Rath of poco.lit\, Canan Marasligil\, a literary translator\, and Yousif M Qasmiyeh\, Researcher on Refugee Writing at Oxford University. \nThis online event is part of the Goethe-Institut’s Artificially Correct project\, which aims to strengthen the position of translators by developing a conscious approach to Machine Translation\, and promoting awareness of social diversity and inclusion.
